Yes, I should have realised some people are a bit slow and would think my idea of getting a judge to decide who had the best system in the universe was serious.

In normal life, if someone debates with me in the way Richard debates in this thread, I either have an argument with them or I ignore them. I may even call them an arrogant arsehole if I think that's how they're acting. So, I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary here.

If you directly called me a fraud (and Rob didn't directly call Richard a fraud, although possibly his original wording could be read to imply it) I certainly wouldn't threaten to sue. I doubt most people would. Might be a bit annoyed, but few people are so sensitive as to threaten legal redress for minor fallings-out on a forum. It shows a touchiness and lack of perspective. I would also point out that at the start of this thread both Rob and me were fans of NVA, so perhaps this approach to  potential customers isn't likely to be very successful. I know a few very opinionated audio designers who are absolutely certain that their particular way of doing things is the correct way, who make very good sounding equipment, but who are quite capable of debating with others without constantly suggesting that if anyone disagrees it's because they lack imagination or intelligence.

I think you were trying to say "insufficiently eloquent as to be unable to express yourself without resort to such inflammatory language.... go and post elsewhere". It ill-behoves someone with such poor spelling and grammar to comment on the written eloquence of others. As for telling me to post elsewhere, I'll post where I like.
